Dialogue-less, tender reflection of a phenomenon that caught on in the 1920s and still seems viable almost a century later: the Spiegeltent (mirror tent).
In the Spiegeltent (mirror tent) in Flemish Kempen, elderly people whirl eternally. As if it will always be a 1956 fun fair. Although transience is palpable here, the Spiegeltent seems a place beyond time, untouched by the worries and circumstances outside. A choreography of tender observations of a weekly dance matinee.
